DISCUSSING THE COMING OF ~. n. A. y
Half an hour passed, and the distant
CHATTER Of the crazy stage coach was
heard coming round the bend in the
road at the entrance of the village.
The lamp was carried into the sitting
room, and Captain Flagg. with his wife
and Polly, who had just arrived. in
compliance with Miss Smiths express
invitation, were shown Into the quaint,
old-time room, followed, a moment or
two later. by the Masons-Miss Smith.
wearing her best alapaca, bringing up
the rear.
There was brief period of waiting.
in which every one spoke in sort Of
undertone. and presently steps were
heard on the piazza, whercat Miss
Smith ncrvously hurried out, to en-
counter the gaze of the tallest and
stiffest gentleman she had ever seen,
who had just entered the door with
Tad.
srhis is MIR. j. H. Atherton-Miss
Smith, said Tad, awkwardly.
Miss Smith courtesied, primly. The
tail gentleman inclined his head about
an inch and half. after which cere-
mony he was ushered into the sitting
room. and formally presented to the
assembled company, whose presence
he evidently regarded with great sur
prise.
''Dein' q lone woman" explained
Miss Smith, Il thought best, for my
sake and Tad's here, to ask in these
frien's and neighbors of mine, so S to
make sure that ev'ry thing III be done
straight and square,
Mr.. Atherton did not seem particu-
las'ly well pleased with the explanation.
but he silently bowed, and seated him.
self in Miss Smiths rocking chair
Then. mounting pair of gold-bowed
eyeglasses across his Roman nose, he
glance over the top of them, and
cleared his throat in an impressive
manner.
'This-er-youth, whom dimly re-
member having seen once before"
said Mr.. Atherton, with dignified move
ment of his slender white hand toward
Tad, who stood near the old secretary.

informed me concerning the manner
in which-a-my property came into
his possession, and presume his-er
-veracity need not be called into
question"
Miss Smith shifted audibly.
Hes as truthful boy rs I ever
saw" she said, concisely, and Captain
Flag was heard to murmur that no
truthfuller one never chopped down a
cherry tree with his little Ratchet.
THAT being the case" continued the
speaker, who had ponderous way Of
moving and speaking, 1--WE will proceed
to the business in band"
Drawing notebook fromhis pocket,
Mr.. Anterior opcusd it. and began
reading:

CHAPTER XIII.

CHAPTER XIII.
The curtains were pulled down, the
big kerosene-lamp lighted, and Miss
Smith, at the head CT the dining-room
table, was pouring out the tea, on the
evening when the arrival of j. II. A.
was expected.
Il s'pose the stage'll be late; it
always is when there's any thing of i'm
portance on hand" observed Miss
Smith, glancing disconsolately at the
pale-faced clock, whose hands pointed
to the hour of seven.
"Dear me, hope notr' said Nv.
Mason; ''for, to tell the truth, ever
since 1 heard about Tad and the mys-
FERROUS sachel, have been fairly de-
voured with curiosity to know its con-
tents.''
"Of course, Miss Smith, you've got
tho article safely under loci, and key"
MI. Mason remarked. helping hims<f
to biscuit as he spoke.
LOCKED up in the secretary drawer,
and the keys in my pocket" returned
Miss Smith. Had the old-fashioned
secretary been burglar-proof safe,
with combination lock, she could hardly
have spoken with more confidence.
"Anybody might slip in the front
door and pick the lock. though" slyly
suggested Mi. Mason, who dearly loved
to tease Miss Smith.
"The front doors locked and bolted,
directly it's sundown," answered Miss
Smith, scornfully; land as the settin'-
room winders all button down to the
top, I guess there's no great danger"
"But our room opens directly into
the sitting-room. and, you know, we
always keep our windows pushed up
persisted Mr.. Mason, winking at his
wife.
don't mind him, Miss Smith," said
his wife. "he's always trying to fright
en- somebody, if he can"
Il wasn't born in the woods, to be
scarf by OWLS" answered Miss Smith,
at which retort Mr.. Mason laughed,
and passed his preserve-dish for a
second installment.
"How will Mr.. j. H. A. find his
way here" asked Mrs. Mason, after q
brief pause.
"Tad's gone up to Potter's to meet
him." returned Miss Smith, glancina
into the teapot-"Potters'' being the
old-time country tavern where the stage
coach stopped. and from whence i,
started. A little general conversation
ensucd. and then. rising from the table,
Mr.. and Mrs. Mason stepped out on
the piazza. to enjoy the cool of evening.
while Miss Smith called Samantha tc
her own supper.

which assembled the odor of burn
ing flesh. The iron cages
were twisted all out of shape. Among
the animals destroyed were four ele-

panthers, four kangaroos, six horses and
q large number Of smaller beasts. Among
the elephents burned were Alice, Sam

of the large elephants escaped and this
morning was found
rROWNED IN THE SOUND
near the lighthouse, where it had gone in
its fright. Otto Mable, an elephEnt-train-
er, by his efforts saved eighteen ele-
plants. Mr.. Bailey said this morning
that 500, 900 would probably cover the
loss; that the lost animals snd all the
parsphernalia would be replaced as soon
as possible and last nights fire would
not interfere with next seasons show.
The insurance placed through Staples
& Co, on the building and property
burned is as follows: Building, SIPS;
animals, $35, 1000; of the latter amount
$4,000 was on the elephants burned and
$2250 on the hippopotsmus. The build
ing will be rebuilt as soon as possible.
Besides the above property destroyed
were two Of the largest chariots, known
as the Neptune and the green tableau car.
The origin of the fire is mystery, but
the general opinion among the showmen
Is that it was the work OF an incendiary.

Mrs, VapZsndt Says August spiss' Body
was EmbRImed Too Soon After tho Hang
Ing.
CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 21.-A local paper
this morning published an article in which
it states that Nina VanZ.ndt Spies, the
proxy wife, is wasting away, food not
having passed her lips since the day be-
fore the day Spies was hanged. She ex-
pressed much bitterness, in conversation
with reporter, against the press
and those who murdered" her
husband. Mrs. VanZandt appeared
greatly concerned about her daughters
health, and fears the worst. She said:
"Had you heard that an effort w&s made
to rescue August after his body reached
the undertaken Well, it is true. The
physicians used an electric battery, ap-
plying it 10 his body for an hour or more,
in hopes Of tanning into fame the spark
OF life which appeared to linger in his
veins. August never appeared to be
dead. His lips were moist and his
cheeks were warm after his body was
received from the jail, but in Augustus
case no encouraging effects were pro-
duced, and though at one time there
was spark Of hope, the doctors soon
gave it up and permitted the embalmers
TO go to work. That was q great mis-
take. The embalmers began work at 2 D.
m, and he died st IL. They ahould have
waited several hours, and perhaps q day
or tWO,u
